Those games didn't happen because Cen10 refused to try to generate an extra $3-5k to make them happen. They settled for lesser teams rather than work harder to secure more elite teams. Check out the 2024 OOS opponents of the elites listed below:
MD: BG, SFA
SJB: C-M
BG: MD, STA
SFA: MD, IMG, DV
DV: SFA
IMG: SFA, BC
STA: BG
Until Cen10 beats an elite OOS opponent (not named Timpview or Liberty), they'll always be solely judged on how they perform vs MD and SJB, which will never be enough to secure a Natty or T5 ranking.
